Growing up, one of the greatest things I ever saw on television was when LeVar Burton got special effects make up on Reading Rainbow. The power of make up, especially special effects make up, still fascinates me.

In the photos below, check out how a make up artist turned a lady into Dragon Ball's King Piccolo, the Great Demon King.

These photos are actually from a make-up class, with students stretching their sea legs in the art of special effects.

What strikes me about this make up job is how piercing the woman's eyes are after she's turned into King Piccolo. The t-shirt, however, either mutes the whole thing—or makes it way more awesome. Cannot decide which.
